The kind of people taking jobs as armed guards at a school would do so in the hopes they'll never be needed. If the time does come for them to face armored, heavily armed mass murderers, most of these armed guards will say "The heck with this, I don't get paid enough to die like this."

american kids are gangster as shit. last year at the high school i went to this girl strabbed another girl in the stomach in the hallway and theres was a huge pool of blood on the ground and everything. ...{post snipped for the sake of brevity} for the rest of that year everybody would always say shit like "GOT PEED ON!!" and "smells like piss!" whenever hed come around.

Wow, I really wish I hadn't read that. With such brazen examples of depravity... why are people questioning how these things are happening. What kind of a society breeds such sadistic little monsters?

The Nutters are just pissed because one of their own went and shot up a school full of kids. The Shooter wasn't mentally ill, he was just another ANGRY Gun Nutter. Another solution is too just lock up all the ANGRY GUN Nutters, this could have a serious impact, but it may reduce the GETBIG members significantly.(Cue the angry Gun Nutters in 3....2.....1....)

I doubt it would do anything to reduce the membership size here significantly, ...but if the right angry gun-nutter was locked away where he couldn't do any harm to others, ...it might reduce the number of anti-Obama postings big time.

Of Course he was a Gun Nutter, his mother has been quoted as saying he was a keen beginner enthusiast, how could he not be, being raised with a Gun Nutter as a Mother. He knew enough to "jungle tape" his .223-caliber Bushmaster rifle for efficient killing.

The Bushmaster never even made it out of the trunk of Lanza's car.

Too many discrepancies, flat out inaccuracies, and back pedaling to believe anything about the official story other than a lot of children were murdered, ...and alot of adults are looking to exploit their slaughter for their own agenda.

Agree. And lol at the "jungle taping" comment, more sensationalism and fear mongering... There is a reason no military units tape magazines together.

The media reported he did after getting the memo.Same with the medical examiner. All spoke of handguns. It wasn't until afterwards the medical examiner came on board to say he had examined the bodies and they were killed with the bushmaster.

Except the Sheriff reported finding the bushmaster in the trunk of the vehicle after it was all over. There is even video ape of him retrieving the weapon. It never left the car, ...but like the mayor of Chicago says "Never let a crisis go to waste" and the memo went out, ...and Adam Lanza became the lone gunman, and the Bushmaster became the weapon that did the deed.

Things are becoming so blatant these days, I wouldn't have been surprised if a spokesperson issued a statement saying the murder weapon was a tax cut for the top 1%. Anything to fit the agenda.

CNN) -- Adam Lanza brought three weapons inside Sandy Hook Elementary school on December 14 and left a fourth in his car, police said. Those weapons were a Bushmaster AR-15 rifle and two handguns -- a Glock 10 mm and a Sig Sauer 9 mm.

In the car he left a shotgun, about which police have offered no details. Lanza used one of the handguns to take his own life, although police haven't said whether the gun was the Glock or the Sig Sauer.

In fact many details remain unknown about the weapons Lanza used that day to kill 20 children, his own mother, six other adults and then himself. Here's what is known so far:

Bushmaster AR-15 rifleThe primary weapon used in the attack was a "Bushmaster AR-15 assault-type weapon," said Connecticut State Police Lt. Paul Vance. The rifle is a Bushmaster version of a widely made AR-15, the civilian version of the M-16 rifle used by the U.S. military. The original M-16 patent ran out years ago, and now the AR-15 is manufactured by several gunmakers. Unlike the military version, the AR-15 is a semiautomatic, firing one bullet per squeeze of the trigger. But like the M-16, ammunition is loaded through a magazine. In the school shooting, police say Lanza's rifle used numerous 30-round magazines.

An AR-15 is usually capable of firing a rate of 45 rounds per minute in semiautomatic mode.

Police didn't offer details about the specific model of the rifle Lanza used. A typical Bushmaster rifle, such as the M4 model, comes with a 30-round magazine but can use magazines of various capacities from five to 40 rounds. An M4 weighs about 6 ½ pounds and retails for about $1,300.

Under the 1994 federal ban on such weapons, buying some variants of new AR-15s was against the law. The ban expired in 2004.

Bushmaster is the No. 1 supplier of AR-15 rifles in the United States, according to the company website.

Their weapons are used by more than 100 police departments and by the militaries of 50 nations, according to Bushmaster. Private citizens use them for "hunting, recreation, competition and home defense and security," the website says.

Gun control: 'This one feels different'

Glock 10 mm handgun

Conn. Police: We have to be sensitive

Investigation to be 'long, painstaking'

Australia's reaction to mass shootings Police haven't said what kind of Glock 10 mm handgun Lanza used. But Glock lists two types on its website, including the Glock 20 and Glock 29.

Lanza had "multiple magazines" for the Glock, Vance said. Such magazines are widely available.

The Glock 20 model has a 15-round magazine. Glock describes it as an ideal weapon for hunting because of its larger bullets, referred to as the ammunition's caliber.

The Glock 20 measures nearly 8 ¼ inches long and weighs about 2 ½ pounds when loaded, according to Glock's website.

Guns and Ammo magazine said of Glocks: "They point naturally, their triggers aren't too heavy ... but most importantly of all, they're reliable."

Sig Sauer 9 mm handgun

The other handgun police said Lanza had with him during the school massacre was a Sig Sauer. Authorities didn't say what kind, but possibilities include the P226, P229 or P250, P290, and if it was an older pistol, possibly the P220. The 9 mm P220 is no longer sold in the United States

Like the Glock, Lanza's Sig Sauer also allowed a high-capacity magazine, Vance said. Lanza used "multiple magazines" that are widely available to feed ammunition to the Sig Sauer, Vance said. Sig Sauer makes 9 mm pistol magazines with a maximum capacity of 20 bullets.

And like the Glock, Vance said the Sig Sauer handgun was a semiautomatic.

The P226 has a 15-round magazine, measures 7 ¾ inches and costs about $1,142, according to Sig Sauer's website. They can be found cheaper at some gun shops.

The Handguns magazine website says of the P226: "Adopted by the [Navy] SEALs nonetheless, it has proven to be durable, reliable, accurate and adaptable. What it has not had a reputation for is compactness."

Her point, was that originally the AR was reported as being locked in the car... For several days, that was accepted as fact. All the sudden, when the crusade started, it was reported that he shot up the school with the AR and it was the shotgun that was in the car, even though it makes very little sense.

i guess i'll go by the police report and state police,but if want to believe what you read on the internet i hear it's all true

Actually Blacken, I was going by the Police Reports, ...and they have changed their statements, in contradiction to the evidence captured on videotape. That is why I stated the only things we know for certain is that a lot of children are dead, and alot of adults are exploiting this horror for their own particular agenda.

HolyCow Shockwave,

This is the first time that someone on Getbig, has clarified my statement for another reader, ...and acually go it right. I'm impressed!

It's amazing the amount of denial Nutters have to endure so as to prop up their position. They have to believe that everyone is lying about the gun used, the witnesses are lying, the Police are lying, the medical examiners are lying and on and on it goes. How sad it must be to get to the point were you have to believe absolutely everyone is lying just to remain in denial. it is common after any tragedy for details to get muddled, but slowly the facts come out, and the FACTS are the shooter used a Bushmaster XM-15 to kill a bunch of kids in a short amount of time. Get used to the truth, because it isn't going to change to suit a Nutters agenda.

Dude, I have no agenda here other than the truth.You remind me of that old saying "Who are you going to believe, me, or your lying eyes?" I can't help it if I notice discrepancies that don't add up. These are facts that I cannot change. If I saw a black car crash into a wall, and police report it, then later claim it was a red truck that went into a lake... I'm gonna have pause.

You are welcome to believe any official line of BS you choose to.I am welcome to disbelieve any official line of BS I hear....and the world will still keep turning.
